Hi everyone, I'm a newbie if you had'nt noticed . I've only had my 98' 2000 Turbo two weeks now and loving it, it's the mutts nutts of a car. However, I've fitted a K&N Cone Filter (mainly for induction noise rather than performance reasons) but i've been told that this may not have been the right idea.

Basicly I've been told that a Panel Filter would have been a better idea??? Can someone in the know please let me know whats what.

Also if I were to fit a set of 18", what tyre would be best as I've heard that Scoobies are a bugger for handleing probs if the wrong tyres are fitted??

Thanks alot in advance.

Someone's gotta be able to help me

 

There's been hundreds of threads about whihc inuction kit to fit... Do a search and you'll find plenty

Basically, an induction kit will give better performance and noise than a panel filter but an induction kit costs more

The threads will mainly go on about MAF damange and which ones cause it.. I don't think that anything is conclusive but it can happen from vibration and oil contamination is the general feeling.

All IMHO obviously

 

Thanks for that mate I appreciate you replying. I'll do a search.

K&N is a paper based oil filter which you have to oil... Hence the debate about MAF contamination

 

K&N are about as safe as they come. No more MAF failures, it seems, from having them over the oem filter!
